asterisk users - Jan 2004 - need help configuring IAX to make outbound calls through a remote server

I am trying to make outbound calls from my Asterisk client through a remote
Asterisk server with IAX. 

 

In iax.conf on both sides 

 

[dar]

context=trusted

secret=xxxxxx

type=friend

host=192.168.1.1

 

in extensions.conf  at the client making the call

 

Exten=_1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/dar:xxxxxx@192.168.1.1/)

 

What goes in extensions.conf at the remote server? What is needed for the
remote server to accept the call from my client, figure out the dialed
number and then dial it outbound on some line? 

 

Thanks!

 

Paul

I'm not going to try and fix all of this, but if you've got
the same hostname on both hosts, one of them doesn't know
about the other.  You need to set the host differently on
each of the hosts.  Ie, on 192.168.1.1, you need to set
"host=192.168.1.2" and on 192.168.1.2, you need to set
"host=192.168.1.1".

You'll need to have a "trusted" context in each, for
starters.  But there's a lot more dialplan work you'll need
to do, depending on where your outbound lines are, what
numbers they can dial without incurring toll charges, etc.
